Orfej,

When I’ve taught using blogs, I’ve never had a problem with outsiders abusing the comments. If you’re having a problem with such people, I recommend installing comment spam filters (e.g. Akismet), enabling comment moderation, and/or blocking the users’ IP addresses.

Great content – thank you. You have even resented it with excellent education technique – perfect common ground as we have all been in a classroom for a good part of our lives!

I would be interested in ways to apply these or other techniques to bring people to the blog – these mostly seem to be for keeping people connected, which of course is vital too.

Thanks for your work – I’ll be passing on your information to a few museum and archives people that I know.

All excellent techniques. I always try to blog from a readers perspective- what will catch their attention and want them to return? Being disciplined and using techniques such as this will only make your blog of better quality. Thanks for the list!

I agree with Wakish. Certinly, I was more attracted to this article due to the top picture. Very cute little guy there. It did encourage me to go through the whole content. :)

Thanks for writing this post. It has given me some new ideas to try as I teach volunteers I work with in a non-profit organization. I’ve been struggling to figure out how to teach them a process without it seeming overwhelming to them. This post will also help me improve the content on my blog, and I appreciate the help.

I definitely agree with rule #5 regarding interdisciplinary writing. The world’s becoming more and more thirsty for knowledge. The more info you can give on a topic (without dragging on and too much), the better.

I’ve found that one of the greatest ways to learn something, is to try to teach it. I think it’s a great way to look at blogging; as a classroom. We just have to remember to see it from the view of the student as well.

very interesting article especially for those who are still new into blogging and still finding their niche and direction…especially helpful for the growing number of young people who are getting engrosed with blogging.

This is a good post. I think that I will be implementing some of these things soon on my blog.

it seems that community seems to be a factor that always shines through.

If you can build community, you will have a successful blog, and many of these tips promote that.

Community! Just to emphasize my point.

I must side with The Masked Millionaire on this one… The only teachers i remember are the ones that did just that… tell stories that thought us… and the ones that didn’t… well, i found other things to do in class (which got me out of class most of the time !)

Great post, i like the co-relation with the blogging world.

What I like about this post is that it sees a blog as a sort of classroom (in the best sense of the word, not in the boring sense of the word). After all, often times people frequent a blog (like this one) because they want to learn something. As such, it makes sense to see what works in the real classroom and apply it to our virtual classroom.

I have always found that the best teachers tell stories that are so compelling that the students are transfixed and refuse to leave until they hear the whole thing. Be interesting. Be very interesting. Tell a story that people want to hear.

Not only will people listen to it…they will tell their friends how great it was and that they should also listen to it.

Great teachers tell interesting stories.
